Getting Started in 3 Steps
Choose Your Character
Browse 60+ characters across Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, and English. Each has a unique personality, regional accent, and teaching specialty.
Allow Microphone Access
Click "Talk to Character" and allow microphone permission when prompted. You only need to do this once per device.
Start Speaking
Characters will greet you by name and lead the conversation—but you're always in control. Jump in anytime to steer the topic, ask questions, or request specific practice. More on that below.
Find a quiet space and speak directly into your device—no headphones needed. Like a phone call, speaking directly often produces clearer audio than headphones, which can muffle your voice. If you prefer headphones, they work fine too, just speak clearly.
Common Practice Scenarios
First Greetings
Café small talk and everyday phrases
Practice with Pierre at his Paris café so "Bonjour" comes naturally, not nervously.
Ordering Food
Restaurant vocabulary and Roman customs

Asking Directions
Navigate cities with practical phrases
Practice with Carlos the taxi driver to understand how locals give directions—not GPS coordinates.

Chat with Marcos, beach vendor in Ipanema, to nail Brazilian numbers and haggling.

Phone Etiquette
Making calls and reservations

Verb Patterns
Grammar through natural conversation
Practice with Diego who explains patterns clearly—why it's "tengo" not "tieno" finally makes sense.
Control Phrases — Guide the Conversation Within Their Domain
Tell characters how you want feedback: "Correct me constantly," "Save corrections for the end," "Only major mistakes," or "Let me finish my thoughts first."
Characters are flexible but have limits. Carmen specializes in Argentine cooking—ask her about complex business negotiations and she'll redirect you to Don Joaquín or Santiago, who live for that stuff.
